When a vehicle changes speed, inertial force is generated. The inertial force produced during the braking process is commonly referred to as braking force. The main methods of generating braking force are friction braking and electric braking. Below are the relevant introductions: Friction Braking: Air pressure is transmitted through mechanical transmission devices to brake shoes or brake pads, generating braking force through the friction between the brake shoes and the wheel tread or between the brake pads and the brake disc. Brake shoe friction braking is the primary braking method used in China. With the increase in transportation speed and load, disc braking has been widely adopted. Disc braking replaces the friction between the wheel tread and brake shoes with the friction between the brake disc mounted on the axle and the brake pads, thereby reducing the thermal load on the wheel tread, extending the service life of the wheels, and ensuring driving safety. Electric Braking: Electric braking is a type of dynamic braking. In electric or diesel locomotives, the traction motor is converted into a generator, transforming the kinetic energy of the train into electrical energy that is fed back into the overhead line or converted into heat energy by resistors and dissipated into the atmosphere. However, this type of braking can only serve as an auxiliary speed regulation method; stopping still relies on friction braking. Regenerative braking can convert a portion of kinetic energy into useful work, but the feedback energy requires certain absorption devices.

What does the low beam symbol look like?

The low beam symbol is green. Here is more information about low beams: 1. Introduction: Low beams are designed for close-range illumination, with design requirements including a wide irradiation range (160°), short irradiation distance, and non-adjustable focus. 2. The following situations require the use of low beams: (1) Driving in areas without streetlights at night, or during dusk when it's getting dark or dawn when light is just appearing, low beams must be turned on. (2) In conditions of heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed, low beams must be used even during the day. (3) In some areas where there is lighting but the brightness is insufficient, low beams should also be turned on.

What Causes the Clutch Pedal Not to Return to Position?

The reasons for the clutch pedal not returning to position are: 1. Air in the hydraulic system, causing excessive clutch travel and poor return; 2. Aging clutch spring, which occurs when the vehicle has been used for a long time; 3. Contaminated clutch fluid, leading to clogged oil passages and resulting in the pedal not returning. The clutch pedal is the control device for the manual transmission clutch assembly and serves as the human-machine interface between the car and the driver. It is one of the five major controls in driving, whether during learning or normal operation, and is used very frequently. For convenience, it is commonly referred to as the 'clutch.' Proper operation of the clutch directly affects the vehicle's starting, gear shifting, and reversing.

Can I get a refund for the tuition fee if I don't take the driving test after registering?

You cannot get a refund for the tuition fee if you decide not to take the driving test. Below is relevant information about the driving test process: 1. Driving test procedures: registration, traffic rules study, subject one test, subject two test, subject three test, subject four test. 2. Test content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Specific contents include reversing into a garage, turning around on a narrow road, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving on a curve, emergency braking, tunnel, taking a card at a toll booth, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, and parking by the roadside.

What kind of car has a white plate under the blue plate?

A white plate under a blue license plate indicates that the vehicle has dual license plates for cross-border travel. For example, when a Korean drives to China, they need both their local license plate and the destination license plate, meaning both Korean and Chinese plates. Similarly, when a Hong Kong resident drives to Shenzhen, they must have dual plates, specifically a mainland China plate and a Hong Kong plate. Below is some relevant information about license plates: 1. Classification of vehicle license plates: new energy vehicle license plates, large vehicle license plates, trailer license plates, small vehicle license plates, and driving school vehicle license plates. 2. Function of license plates: They serve as identification and information registration for vehicles, allowing people to identify the vehicle's region of origin and access the owner's details and registration information through the plate number.

What is the Difference Between Grease Lubrication and Oil Lubrication?

Grease lubrication and oil lubrication differ in terms of adhesion, temperature range, and pressure resistance. Adhesion Difference: When the friction part is in a static state, grease lubrication can maintain its original shape without being lost due to gravity, nor will it slide off vertical surfaces or leak through gaps. In contrast, oil lubrication cannot maintain its original shape and will directly flow away. Temperature Range Difference: The operating temperature range of grease lubrication is wider than that of oil lubrication. For example, general lithium-based grease can be used in a range of -20 to 120 degrees Celsius, while oil lubrication has a much narrower usable temperature range. Pressure Resistance Difference: Grease lubrication has a much stronger adsorption capacity on metal surfaces compared to lubricating oil, forming a relatively robust oil film that can withstand higher working loads. This is due to the large amount of polar substances contained in grease lubrication.

How to Use the Heating System in the Tiguan L?

The heating system in the Tiguan L is controlled by three knobs. The simplest method is to activate the AUTO function, where the system determines whether to engage the compressor for cooling or open the small heating radiator for warmth based on the driver's temperature settings. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Press the brake pedal of the Tiguan L. 2. Press the one-touch start button of the Tiguan L. 3. The instrument panel of the Tiguan L lights up, and the vehicle starts. 4. Press the AUTO button of the Tiguan L to activate the air conditioning system. 5. Rotate the temperature adjustment knob of the Tiguan L to the red zone on the right to turn on the heating system.
